Bubbatron

Been a bit slow on the painting recently, got some things on the go but went back and added a few tufts etc to the bases to break up the green a bit

Back to working on the troops, finished off some Sequitors and Castigators with a head swap from the Castigator prime Posted these on Twitter Monday and made it onto Warhammer TV hobby roundup which I was really chuffed at!

More reinforcements completed this weekend, some repainted Palladors

Thank you! I'm really happy with how these are turning out

Took a better pic of the Knight Azyros

So at, the start of this thread I mentioned my old Stormcast project that sort of got put aside, for the past few weeks I've been trying to decide whether to repaint them to match my Astral Templars. I was really happy with the Palladors mounts and didn't want to repaint those, but had doubts if the colours would look OK together. Last night I decided to go for it, I'm pleasantly surprised at how they look!

Been a bit busy past few weeks, managed to get the Knight Azyros and Larissa Shadowstalker finished up. Treated myself to some reinforcements and got some more Mortal Realms models assembled

Some better pictures!

Finally finished the Paladin Protectors, sooo much gold!!

Yes, spot on, I think I'd of cracked up hand carving those!!

Not as much progress as I would of liked but getting there with some new additions this weekend, also made a start on some base toppers to try and match the ETB moulded ones. So much gold on those paladins!

So a finished pic or Berek, plus some reinforcements from the cupboard of shame! This was originally just for the Mortal Realms magazine, but as there's no Stormcast left I fug out some Protectors from my old project along with the Knight Azyros, but what better to go with sone protectors than a Larissa Shadowstalker!

Just realised the picture of Berek is unfinished, need to change that ! I've also dug out the flock and gone a bit retro to try and match the home made bases in with the sculpted ones which have some sort of sculpted grass around the edges, you can see it in the first pic on the Knight Questor And yes that is a Gino Ginelli ice cream tub from around 1994 !

When Mortal Realms launched I decided to subscribe, I have some Stormcast that I was working on of a custom design but sort of got pushed to the wayside (The Argent Lions), but since lockdown and working from home began, my painting has picked up, around the middle of March, a user by the name of @dave_the_chin on Twitter suggested a challenge with random Stormhosts, as id got a few issues of Mortal Realms by then I decided to join in, the Astral Templars were my given host, as of now writing this I've just completed all the Stormcast I've got from the magazine and have started on the Nighthaunt (maybe another log...), if youre interested in taking a look, have a look for the #Stormforged on Twitter and see who else has got involved. Thought putting them up here will keep my interest in too ! So as it stands here's what I've completed so far, all current Mortal Realms Stormcast, plus looks like Berek the Indomitable woke up in the wrong Stormhost ! As I've got all these completed, I'm thinking of going back to my old project and maybe repainting to match these guys.

So a bit after I decided that he needed something else, plus there was a gap that was bugging me....

And here's some WIPs so you can see how the cloak fits

The Vanguardifying of non-Vanguard continues, following on from previous, here's my Paladin Prime for the unit of Protectors

Only problem now is I only have 3 Vanguard capes left, so thinking of just putting those on the Primes now, almost like when they get reborn, they remember their Vanguard past by wearing a fur cape to try to fit in! Just need to decide what to build the Paladins as, I do like the glaives the Protectors have though! Also looking around I've seen conversions using a prosecutor prime for the Knight Azyros spare parts so going to keep my eyes open for one of those!

Been a bit hard to paint in this heat, but have managed to work on some reinforcements! Picked up a bits sprue on ebay and managed to bash together some Vanguard style Judicators, plus a few more reinforcements....

Some more done on my stormcast again, decided to paint something a bit different so it was the Knight Incantors turn today! Finally settled on a colour I like that stops them looking like Hallowed Knights wannabes 😂

Been working on my stormcast again , getting some more built up, as I'm planning a Vanguard themed Stormhost decided to give the raptors some cloaks, bit fiddly and need some putty work but very happy with these

That pallador primes been putting it out I see 😂 really like the birds, look almost translucent

And some more! Really enjoying painting these up, glad I decided to sit down and make a start on them!

Some Malifaux minus are like that, seems like the person doing the sprue layout got a bit too chop happy - feet seperate from legs, front and back heads, seperate faces 😱

Some more work! So over the weekend I managed to assemble and prime a unit of pallador t go with the Lord Aquilor Learnt from assembling him though and did these in sub-assemblies, makes it easier to paint them this way Something I did discover though is that Stormhost Silver goes better over a grey undercoat as opposed to black, the Lord Aquilor only needed one coat of Stormhost Silver over grey, but the vanguard riders have needed at least 2 coats each over a black undercoat
